Review of The Altitude Journals
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Altitude Journals" by David J Mauro.]
Climbing mountains is a dangerous sport. When you discover that over 300 people have died while attempting to climb Mount Everest, you begin to wonder why some people choose to climb, knowing that they would return in coffins. What is the mysterious secret behind this sport or hobby that drives climbers to put their lives on the line in order to reach the summit? What is the secret that drives them to leave their homes and loved ones to confront the dangers and challenges of mountain climbing? This book may give you a glimpse into this secret, which seems to be a puzzle to everyone who has never tried mountaineering.
In his book The Altitude Journals, David J Mauro takes readers on a journey through his life following his divorce choice. In this book, you can see how his divorce affected him and how climbing Denali Mountain helped him heal and start a new life with a new love. We follow him on his seven journeys to the top of the tallest peak on each continent, witnessing the hardships and risks he experienced along the way, as well as the experiences and lessons he gained from each journey.
When I first saw the content of this book, I wondered what the difference would be between climbing seven different mountains; isn't mountain climbing the same everywhere? But as I read the book, I discovered seven fascinating stories, each of which talks about a different adventure, different teammates, different experiences, and different challenges. I liked the writer's style because it is smooth and draws attention. You will discover that you learn a lot about climbing challenges and experiences in an interesting method.
On the other hand, I didn't find anything in this book that I didn't like; it's simple to read while also being informative. Furthermore, it is edited proficiently, in my opinion, since I detected no grammatical or spelling errors. As a result, I give it 4 out of 4 stars.
While reading this book, you'll see that the author not only discusses mountain climbing and its challenges, such as sleep disturbances at a high altitude and dehydration, but also social issues like gays, underprivileged children, and fatherhood.
In the end, I'd want to point out that this nonfiction work is definitely worth your time. You'll have a good time reading it while learning more about climbing and life. This book will appeal to anyone who enjoys reading about challenges, mountain climbing, or memoir books, and I highly recommend it to them.
